Re: [PLUG] new, old computer


 

You may have an issue booting directly from the CDROM. Some of the older 
bios' don't support 2.88MB floppies. (I forget off-hand if 7.2 uses such 
an image. I do know that 8.0 does.)

You'll either need to build a boot floppy, there are a few images on the 
CD, or rebuild the ISO using one of those images as the boot image.
